Diane chase time to make a life lyrics

We wake up every morning,

In the early eyes of dawn

roll on out of bed, kiss,

And put the coffee on.

By 9 or 10 I feel as though,

I’ve worked a day or two

I close my eyes and dream about,

Spending time with you

Everyday I trade the simple things 

for all their weight in gold

But they always leave me longing for

something more that I can hold



[Chorus]



We’ve got the house,

we always thought we needed

We’ve got everything the Jones’ would dream of

We give all we’ve got 

from 9 to 9

and think we’ve got it right

We got time to make a living,

Just no time to make a life.



If we woke up tomorrow,

And all of this was gone,

I know we’d have everything

we need to carry on

More and More I’m missing 

the way things used to be

When all we ever had in life

was time for you and me

Still I trade the simple things for all their weight in gold,

And still they leave me longing for

something more that I can hold.



[Chorus]



We’ve got the house,

We always thought we needed

We’ve got everything the Jones’ would dream of

We give all we’ve got 

from 9 to 9

and think we’ve got it right

We got time to make a living,

Just no time to make a life.

It seems this world’s gone crazy

Seems we’ve lost all sense of time.

We’re all running a race

that has no Finnish line.



[Chorus]



We’ve got the house,

We always thought we needed

We’ve got everything the Jones’ would dream of

We give all we’ve got 

from 9 to 9

and think we’ve got it right

We got time to make a living,

Just no time to make a life.



Yah, time to make a living,

Just no time to make a life.

It’s about time.

Time to make a life.

It’s about you and me.
